Had a good English speaking guide here, who didnt just stick to the guide banter but told us many little stories about the family and Medan history. Lovely house in the middle of a big noisy city.

It is hard to believe that Medan has a treasure like Tjong A Fie's Mansion. I am glad that I went there. Visitors will get a glimpse of the riches that Medan's economical and political elite possessed in the past. It is reminded me a lot of one Peranakan museum I once visited in Singapore.

Tjong A Fie mansion is a beautiful building, still well preserved, despite dusty in some places. I only took some photos here, but I didn't get too much information because maybe I came in the wrong time.

The ticket price IDR 35000 is overprice I think, since Ullen Sentalu at Yogyakarta is only IDR 25000. The collection is maintaned well, even there some dust that makes me sneeze thousand times. The guide is helpful and informative. Perfect for photo session!
